GENERAL  DIRECTIONS 


The  general  directions  which  may  be  given  the  student  in  advance 
are  few,  as  the  principles  introduced  from  time  to  time  in  the  following 
pages  will  be  specifically  treated,  when  reference  is  made  to  them. 

Ruled  paper  should  always  be  use'l.     Faint  red  lines  are  preferable 
and  they  should  be  ruled  about  one-half  inch  apart. 

Every  character  must  be  carefully  and  correctly  formed,  and  should 
never  be  written  faster  than  it  can  be  written  well.  Ability  to  write 
rapidly  and  legibly  will  depend  upon  the  precision  with  which  in  the 
beginning  each  character  is  written. 

Accuracy  in  writing  depends  upon  the  direction  in  which  each  char- 
acter is  written,  its  length,  and  whether  it  is  light  or  heavy.  The  perpen- 
dicular, slanting,  and  horizontal  strokes  should  be  made  in  the  proper 
direction,  and  the  curved  strokes,  when  made  heavy,  should  be  thickened 
in  the  centre  only,  and  should  taper  toward  the  extremities ;  while  straight 
strokes  are  made  heavy  throughout,  and  should  be  made  only  sufficiently 
heavy  to  distinguish  them  from  light  strokes. 

Either  a  pen  or  a  pencil  may  be  used,  which  should  be  held  between 
the  first  and  second  fingers,  in  an  almost  upright  position.  The  note- 
book must  be  kept  in  place  with  the  left  hand,  and,  when  one  is  writing, 
the  weight  of  the  body  should  not  rest  upon  the  right  arm. 

Everything  should  be  written  and  read  over  and  over  again.  Each 
character,  word,  or  principle  must  be  learned  perfectly  before  the  nexc 
one  is  taken  up,  and  nothing  outside  of  the  exercises  given  in  connection 
with  each  lesson  should  be  attempted.  Word-signs  must  be  reviewed 
daily.

PHONOGRAPHY 


Phonography  is  based,  upon  a  scientific  analysis  of  the  sounds  of  the 
English  language.  The  common  alphabet,  as  being  inadequate  for  the 
accurate  representation  of  the  various  sounds,  has  been  discarded  and 
one  more  philosophic  has  been  adopted, — one  which  provides  an  absolute 
sign  for  each  consonant  and  vowel  sound. 

The  CONSONANT  signs  are  derived  from  the  following  geometric 
diagrams : 


From  these  divisions  twelve  simple   straight  and  curved   lines   are 
obtained  : 


These  lines,  made  light  and  heavy,  are  arranged  in  pairs,  the  thin 
strokes  representing  the  whispered  sounds,  and  the  heavy  strokes  the 
vocal  or  thickened  sounds,  as  in  column  I,  on  the  opposite  page. 

Each  consonant,  whether  straight  or  curved,  is  written  in  the  direction 
of  one  of  the  lines  in  the  following  figures  : 


FIG.  1.  FIG.  2.  FIG.  3. 

The  lines  in  the  second  and  fourth  directions  are  inclined  exactly 
midway  between  the  horizontal  and  perpendicular  lines  in  the  first  and 
third  directions. 

Each  sign  represents  invariably  the  same  sound,  and  is  always  written 
in  the  same  direction.  (See  columns  2  and  3.) 

The  VOWEL  sounds  are  represented  by  dots  and  dashes  placed  in  three 
positions  about  the  consonant  signs,  as  in  column  5. 


COKSONANTS 


1.   Upright  and  sloping  consonants  are  written  DOWNWARD,  except  lay, 
ray,  and  hay,  which  are  written  UPWARD. 


\   I    I    /    /

V   Ith   The   S   Z 


r

2.   Horizontal  consonants  are  written  from  LEFT  to  RIGHT.

M 


Emp  or  Erab

Ing  or  Ink 


3.  All  strokes  are  made  of  uniform  length.    Chay  slopes  60,  and 

ray  and  hay  30,  degrees  from  the  line  of  writing.  /    £ 

Chay    Ray    Hay 

4.  When  consonants  are  combined,  they  are  written  without  lifting 
the  pen  from  the  paper,  each  succeeding  consonant  beginning  where  the 
preceding  one  ends . 

5.  Each  consonant  is  written  in  the  sane  direction  whon  joined   to 
others  as  when  standing  alone.  When  joined, the  first  DOWN  or  UP  stroke 
rests  UPON  the  line.   L,  when  standinc  alone,  is  written  UPWARD.

6.   Except  in  a  few  combinations,   an  angle   is  formed  between  a 
itraight  and  a  curved,  and  between  two  curved,  consonants.

CIRCLE 


Z. 


24.  S  and  Z  are  also  represented  by  a  small  INITIAL  or  FINAL  circle, 
called  Iss.    It  is  written  on  the  RIGHT-HAND  side  of  downward  straight 
strokes,  and  on  the  UPPER  side  of  horizontal  and  upward  straight  strokes. 
It  Is  written  on  the  INSIDE  of  curved  strokes. 

It  is  read  FIRST  when  it  begins  and  LAST  when  it  ends  an  outline.

OUTLINES 


In  order  to  write  with  the  rapidity  of  speech,  words  can  ba 
represented  only  by  their  consonant  outlines,  although  occasionally  it 
may  be  necessary  to  insert  vowels.   As  a  majority  of  the  consonant  let- 
ters are  formed  in  two  or  more  ways,  many  words  may  be  written  with 
several  different  outlines. 

The  principal  guide  to  the  selection  of  outlines  is  that  of 
convenience  and  ease  in  writing.   How  to  make  this  selection,  aside 
from  the  word  signs  and  the  words  in  the  following  lists,   must  be  left 
to  the  stenographer.   To  qualify  him  for  this  selection  it  is  absolute- 
ly necessary  that  he  should  possess  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  princi- 
ples as  given  in  the  previous  lessons.    If  he  does  not  possess  this 
knowledge  he  should  review  the  work  before  proceeding  further. 

Each  principle  must  be  thoroughly  learned  and  applied  before 
facility  will  be  acquired  for  writing  from  miscellaneous  matter.

CONTRACTED    WORDS 

Tha  outlines  of  the  following  words,  because  of  their  awkward 
forms  when  written  in  full,  are  contracted  by  writing  only  their  prom- 
inent consonants.  These  are  called  "Contractions."  The  outlines  are 
generally  suggestive  of  the  words  they  represent,  but  they  should  bs 
thoroughly  memorized  so  that  they  may  be  written  without  hesitation.

WRITING  EXERCISES 

The  rules  under  each  lesson  should  be  memorized  and 
the  engraved  characters  read  many  times. 

The  heavy  strokes  are  shaded  only  enough  to  dis- 
tinguish them  from  the  light  strokes.  They  can  be  made 
sufficiently  distinct  at  a  single  stroke  by  a  slight  pressure 
on  the  pen  or  pencil,  thus  avoiding  the  necessity  of 
retracing  the  line. 

CONSONANTS 

Write  a  line  of  each  consonant  in  your  note-book,  first 
writing  the  name  of  the  consonant  in  longhand.  When 
each  consonant  has  been  written  once  show  your  note- 
book to  the  instructor,  who  will  examine  and  date  it. 
Then  fill  out  the  line  and  have  it  examined  and  dated 
again.

CONSONANTS  COMBINED 

When  consonants  are  joined,  the  first  up  or  down 
stroke  should  rest  upon  the  line.  Combinations  of  hori- 
zontal consonants  should  rest  upon  the  line.  When  two 
descending  strokes  are  joined,  the  first  rests  upon  the  line 

49 


and  the  second  descends  below  it.  Each  outline  must  be 
carefully  and  accurately  formed.  All  strokes  must  be  of 
the  same  length.

LONG  VOWELS 

Write  all  the  consonants  of  a  word  before  inserting 
the  vowel  or  vowels.  Each  syllable  of  a  word  has  but 
one  vowel  sound.  In  stenography,  only  the  sounds  of  a 
word  are  expressed.  When  L,  is  the  only  consonant 
stroke  in  the  word,  use  Lay. 

After  the  words  have  been  written  once,  and  the 
instructor  has  made  the  necessary  corrections,  carefully 
note  them,  and  then  fill  out  the  line,  following  the  same 
course  as  with  the  consonants.

After  the  sentences  have  been  written  once  and 
corrected  by  the  instructor,  each  one  should  be  written  at 
least  ten  times.  Two  light  ticks  in  the  direction  of  Chay 
should  be  placed  under  a  proper  noun. 

SENTENCES:  i.  They  may  all  go.  2.  They  already  know  the 
way.  3.  They  may  see  the  Jew.  4.  Each  saw  the  show.  5.  Who

A  new  lesson  must  not  be  taken  up  until  the  principles 
and  practice- matter  of  the  previous  one  have  been 
thoroughly  mastered.  Especial  attention  should  be  given 
to  the  word  signs,  which  are  of  the  utmost  importance. 

SHORT  VOWELS 

Remember  that  each  sign  represents  invariably  the 
same  sound,  and  that  it  is  always  written  in  the  same 
direction,  except  the  letter  //  also  that  the  first  ascending 
or  descending  stroke  in  the  outline  is  written  in  the  position 
of  the  vowel  in  the  accented  syllable. 

Doubt  may  sometimes  arise  regarding  the  use  of  the 
short  second-place  vowels  ;  also  regarding  the  use  of  the 
first  and  second-place  heavy  dash-signs.  The  distinct 
sounds  in  words  of  this  class  may  be  ascertained  by  refer- 
ence to  a  standard  dictionary.  In  writing  shorthand, 
however,  the  exact  distinction  is  hardly  necessary. 

Double  consonants,  as  in  Anna,  dummy,  muddy,  etc., 
are  expressed  with  but  one  stroke.
